Trending News: Jimmy Kimmel Is Really Doubling Down On This YouTube Gaming Controversy

Quick Take: At this point, it seems like Jimmy Kimmel is just riding out this YouTube Gaming controversy for the video views, but meanwhile, the gaming community is allowing itself to be provoked like a pack of angry dogs.

If you're not caught up on all this, Jimmy Kimmel made a sketch making fun of YouTube's new live-stream gaming channel YouTube Gaming. The sketch made fun of people who watch other people play video games. After the sketch was uploaded to YouTube, Jimmy started getting barraged with angry comments, death threats, threats to his family — you know, all the usual reactions when someone does something mildly distasteful on the internet.

Jimmy now appears to be doubling down on the controversy. He released another video today in which he read more of the angry comments from the comments section of his last videos and continued to ridicule gamers. At the end of the video, Jimmy told the audience that he's going to sit down with a group of gamers and allow them to show him what is fun about watching other people play video games, which sounds like a great idea. Then, he said, if he decides he doesn't like it, he will "shut down Twitch and shut down YouTube Gaming," which sounds like a completely insane idea.

So we'll have to see how this one plays out, provided that some 4chan hackers don't strew Jimmy's private information all over the web first.
